I'm working on a homebuilt controller, but don't know if I'll finish it in the near future. I may end up borrowing the Raptor out of my Mazda.

I'm looking for good street performance out of this car. With this kind of voltage, I'll be looking at around 120 peak shaft hp, so it should fairly quick. Torque at low rpm should be amazing!

As of now, I have the motor in the car, and I'm working on assembling all of the "little stuff." I'm expecting to have it on the road in a month or two.
